That’s why the county board is considering calling on Congress to investigate how the Department of Homeland Security handles illegal immigrants turned over by the county.

A spokeswoman for ICE said the complaints don’t match up with the facts.

During its two years in operation, ICE has removed more illegal immigrants from the country than any other time in history. Close to 393,000 individuals were removed last year alone. That's up more than 3,000 from the year before. Of those removed, 196,000 were convicted criminals.
